20.Sh NAME
21.Nm glxclk
22.Nd AMD Geode CS5536 multi-function general purpose timer
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "glxclk* at glxpcib?"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver enables two of the multi-function general purpose timers found on the
29Geode companion chip to be used as the system clock and the statistics clock.
30.Pp
31The statistics clock is implemented with interval variance support based on
32Chris Torek's paper on randomized sampling.
